Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft

[1] The charter was signed in Stuttgart in 1950 and committed the organization to the renouncing of revenge and retaliation and promoting European accord.

The organization tried to slow down the membership of today's Czech Republic in the European Union by demanding a complete revocation of the Beneš decrees which established the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia after the war and declared them unlawful.

Since Pentecost of 1950, the Landsmannschaft has organized a traditional convention, the Sudetendeutscher Tag [cs; de], which mostly takes place in southern Germany, in Augsburg or Nuremberg.

[citation needed] The association observes the annual Sudeten German Day with a festival celebrating their culture.

[2] In 2024, the Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft awarded former European Union president Jean-Claude Juncker its Charlemagne Prize, for his advocacy of a just international order in Central Europe.
